User creation in solaris 9

When i am creating one user by admintoolor by useradd command in solaris 9, the home directory of that user is not created automatically in /exports/home.
I'm using command
# useradd -d /export/home/username

Right. But I don'tbelieve thatspecifying the home directory in the
useradd call actually creates the home directory (this is unlike Linux).
SO do it manually:
cd to /export/home/
mkdir username
chown username:group username
